Some properties are never visited by MemberVisitor

[bcallaghan-et]

I am trying to use MemberVisitor to apply additional attributes based on documented rules that are not present in the XSD schema. One roadblock I've run into is that text value properties are not passed into the visitor action. Consider the following schema:

<complexType name="AmountType">
  <simpleContent>
    <extension base="vsi:MonetaryAmount">
      <attribute name="currency" type="vsi:CurrencyType"/>
    </extension>
  </simpleContent>
</complexType>

This generates a C# class with a Currency property and a Value property. I want to add [Column(TypeName = "decimal(12,2)")] on Value because it's type is MonetaryAmount, but I never get the chance.

Also consider the following C# properties that were generated:

[System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations.Schema.NotMappedAttribute()]
[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElementAttribute("MyDate", DataType="date")]
public System.DateTime MyDateValue { get; set; }
        
/// <summary>
/// <para xml:lang="de">Ruft einen Wert ab, der angibt, ob die MyDate-Eigenschaft spezifiziert ist, oder legt diesen fest.</para>
/// <para xml:lang="en">Gets or sets a value indicating whether the MyDate property is specified.</para>
/// </summary>
[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlIgnoreAttribute()]
[System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations.Schema.NotMappedAttribute()]
[System.ComponentModel.EditorBrowsableAttribute(System.ComponentModel.EditorBrowsableState.Never)]
public bool MyDateValueSpecified { get; set; }
        
[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlIgnoreAttribute()]
public System.Nullable<System.DateTime> MyDate
{
    get
    {
        if (this.MyDateValueSpecified)
        {
            return this.MyDateValue;
        }
        else
        {
           return null;
        }
    }
    set
    {
        this.MyDateValue = value.GetValueOrDefault();
        this.MyDateSpecified = value.HasValue;
    }
}

I would like to add [Column(TypeName = "date")] to MyDate because it's XML type is date and to use it with Entity Framework. However, that property is never passed into the MemberVisitor action. The other two properties are, but EF will (correctly) ignore those properties.

I've added a few more calls that should allow for your scenario.

Yes, I can now add the Column attributes that I wanted through MemberVisitor. Thanks!
